The
Sword of Solomon by Nick Gasaway is an explorative piece relating the story of
King David and his son, Solomon in the Bible through a presentation of a “modern-day
depiction of good vs. evil.” Fast-paced and imaginative, the question that
comes forth from the book is one of choice…will you accept Jesus or reject Him?
First
following a Biblical parallel from King David and Solomon, these modern-day
characters highlight Solomon, the world’s first trillionaire. Blessed with
incredible wisdom and ingenuity, riches and corporate know-how, Solomon is led
to focusing on his father’s (David’s) journal. Solomon’s reflection, admiration
and perspective of his father give life to David’s accomplishments before he
died. Looking back, Solomon vows to keep track of all who helped his father
David (just as the King David honored Jonathan’s descendants in Scripture).
With
a woven tapestry of descriptive imagery, readers from the beginning are given a
glimpse of the immensity of not only Solomon’s wealth and prestige, but his
deep desire for the things of God, including his integrity as his father’s son.
Much like, what we see in the Bible coming from King David and Solomon (who
asked for only wisdom, yet was granted wisdom and riches by the Lord). Solomon
is a wise man dedicated to the fulfilling the Lord’s purpose for him.
His
father, David, was a military hero, his sword that hung steadfastly on the wall
in Solomon’s study, lends to incredible significance, but also as a memorial to
his father, David. Intriguing sub-plots of a DNA activated crystal, including
End Time scenarios of a one world government, leading to a global economic
breakdown leading to a global economy under a global leader sheds light into
possible End Time scenarios that gain strength in the end of the book.
Inclusion of inspiring and profound scripture verses, memorable sayings
garnered from such famous individuals such as: Winston Churchill, Albert Einstein,
George S. Patton, also create a vividly clear picture that shares a fascinating
and progressive story.
Notably,
this book was written to impact others in a profound way…and asks, “Are you
ready? Prepare for I am coming soon.” This was spoken to the author, coupled
with a dream, gave him the inspiration to writing this book..
Highly
recommended for those that like Christian fiction novels that give hope, light
and peace in choosing Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. And for all those
warriors and military buffs out there…you’ll love this book!
